MURE AY CREEK.
GOLDEN TREASURE
Work is being actively pushed ahead in the main shaft, which has now reached a depth of between oGffc and 57ft. The sinking is pretty good, and occasional quartz leaders am met with, thus indicating the possibility of the proximity of a new run of stone. As has already been stated the shaft is going through maiden country, and the striking of a new lode in this position of the mine would be a matter of considerable importance. The drive is still being continued northward through very promising country.
It was announced early in (lie week that a new run of of stone had been discovered by Steers and part}' on the eastern fall of the range at Murray Creek, and a lease was at once applied for under the name of the Durham Company. The outcrop nf stone was, I believe, first found within the reserve of the Inangahua Low Level Tunnel Company, and subsequently traced into the ground taken up. The stone.is said to show gold.
